SMaRT-PCR: Sampling with Mask and Reverse Transcriptase PCR, a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool for paediatric pulmonary tuberculosis

2023-06-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Purpose</h4> Diagnostic challenges in pediatric TB, like difficulties obtaining sputum, need for invasive sampling, and suboptimal sensitivity of existing detection tools, advocate for sputum-free, child-friendly, and diagnostically accurate methods. This proof-of-concept study evaluates the diagnostic potential of non-invasively s ampling patient bioaerosols using a mask combined with reverse transcriptase (R...
